Hello everyone, I’m a native English and French speaker from Canada. I have been helping many students improve their English and French since 2011. I am learning Spanish at the moment and improving a lot with regular practice. It’s really challenging, yet so rewarding. I look forward to meeting you and helping you improve your English or French.
Me as a Teacher
I love languages and meeting new people from everywhere around the world. There’s always so much to learn and discover, I find it very enriching. My passion for languages gives me the opportunity to help students with their learning and push them further so they can reach their goals. I think it’s important to reward, empower, encourage and motivate them. I am very patient and I always give my best to each student.
My lessons & teaching style
I like engage students by being more personal and I try to create a relationship with them that promotes exchange. I also make the conversations as natural as possible, so as to make the students feel comfortable and therefore expressing themselves with more ease.

Ratiba is very engaging, and the conversation flows easily. She is very helpful in identifying my errors in grammar or pronunciation as we speak. Her approach to making corrections is positive and encouraging.
